A work function in Wollongong usually starts with one question: is this a presentation with dinner afterwards, or a night where the team simply gets out of the office? The answer points you to very different rooms. For conferences, recognition nights and product launches, the strongest options are the purpose-built function floors in the CBD and the larger halls further up and down the coast. For a looser get-together, the Illawarra has harbour restaurants, pubs with private floors and a long list of things to do as a group.
In central Wollongong, Scarlett's @ Illawarra Steelers Club holds 220 standing or 160 seated and comes with a stage, microphone and speakers for speeches. The Sorrento Room @ Centro CBD is an upstairs ballroom for 240 seated, with two projector screens and finger food menus from $44 per person, while The Loft @ The Builders Club has free on-site parking and canapé packages from $25 per person.
For something with more presence, Anita's Theatre in Thirroul seats 250 at banquet tables in its century-old auditorium, Panorama House at Maddens Plains looks out over the ocean from the escarpment, and The Pavilion Kiama puts wireless microphones and a projector in every room. Greyleigh near Kiama and Ravensthorpe Estate in Albion Park are booked exclusively, which suits a leadership offsite.
Pick the brief first, then the room:
